I love to bake bread. I love to EAT bread! This book has some great ideas. Right now I have some French peasant boule mixed up, and some pumpernickel. You store it in the fridge for up to two weeks, and when you want a loaf, you pull off a piece from your stored mix and very simply shape it, raise it, bake it, AND THEN YOU EAT IT!! No kneading! I have mine stored in plastic ice cream buckets. Tomorrow I am making a pork roast in the crock pot fromA Year of Crock-potting Blog. I am looking forward to trying it.

Everyone but me seems to be on to that book right now. I like the idea of not kneading my bread - that's the major thing that slows down my breadmaking with 2 small girls! Glad it's working out for you (and I'm glad you found the needles!).
